How to import map-obj?

I’m trying to import this lib and I get the following error:

/Users/alexs/Documents/projects/xml-controller-test/dist/app.controller.js:20
const map_obj_1 = require("map-obj");
                  ^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /Users/alexs/Documents/projects/xml-controller-test/node_modules/map-obj/index.js from /Users/alexs/Documents/projects/xml-controller-test/dist/app.controller.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /Users/alexs/Documents/projects/xml-controller-test/dist/app.controller.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.
    at Object.<anonymous> (/Users/alexs/Documents/projects/xml-controller-test/dist/app.controller.js:20:19)

I wouldn’t like to make any significant changes in my package.json that would the project. Though, I tried adding “type”: “module” to package.json, it didn’t help.

ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope
This file is being treated as an ES module because it has a '.js' file extension and '/Users/alexs/Documents/projects/xml-controller-test/package.json' contains "type": "module". To treat it as a CommonJS script, rename it to use the '.cjs' file extension.

The way I do it:

import mapObject, { mapObjectSkip } from 'map-obj';

I have a basic nestjs package.json and tsconfig.json files.
Is there any way to import this library in a TS project?
